IF YOU TOUCH, I'LL TELL is more than just a book! It's an alarm system for children!

For those ready to introduce the topic of inappropriate touching to their child, this book is the perfect interactive companion. This simple, rhyming poem with vibrant illustrations and posters, teaches children how to protect themselves from inappropriate touching. It also introduces children to the concept of voice power. This book encourages children to speak up. With this book, parents and children can have an important discussion on staying safe and deactivating predators.

This book serves a similar purpose to the security alert symbol outside your home, warning thieves to stay away. Every book comes with five paper badges that your child can wear daily, as a warning to predators that they have voice power and will use it! This book includes a short note to trusted adults on who predators are, where they lurk, and tips that can help protect your child from inappropriate touching.

Preventing a child from being abused is one of the most important things trusted adults can do. "Prevention is better than cure," especially in the case of sexual abuse.
